Less than two months after leaving his post as Lyft’s COO, Travis VanderZanden has joined ridesharing front-runner Uber. The company indicated he would assist with Uber’s expansion into other countries.

“We are thrilled to welcome Travis to Uber. After he left his previous employer, we talked to Travis and it was clear his experience and skills would help us strengthen our operations as we grow, expand and evaluate markets internationally,” Uber said in a statement.
